CCCP – Fedeli alla linea

CCCP were formed in West Berlin in 1982, when Massimo Zamboni and Giovanni Lindo Ferretti, two guys from Reggio Emilia, got together to make music. The group's name, CCCP, was a joke based on the acronym of the Soviet Union, and the second part of the name, Fedeli alla linea, came from a conversation with a customs officer. He told them their name was CCCP, and the guy replied “der Linie treu”, which means “Fedeli alla linea”, and they liked it so much they used it as their second name.

The group played punk rock, but with a melody that set them apart. Their songs not only played in Italy, but also in other countries, and many people took them as a reference. Le luci della centrale elettrica, Massimo Volume or Gianna Nannini cited them in their own songs. Although they split up in 1990, just when Germany was unified, some of the guys reunited again.

Biography

In 1992, without Annarella Giudici and Danilo Fatur, the CSI was formed, and in 2001, without Massimo Zamboni, the PGR were born. But in 2012, some of the ex-members reunited again in Reggio Emilia. They sang songs from the group, along with other musicians, and recorded the concert. That album was called 30 anni di ortodossia, and it was released by several record companies.

In 2014, the four original members reunited to remember the group's history, show pictures and listen to their songs. And in 2022, just forty years after their formation, they reunited again for a documentary and a book. In 2023, in Reggio Emilia, an exhibition dedicated to them was opened.
